verysophisticated design tools will become accessible for engineers in large and small businesses andfor educational and research processes in academia. Currently, such sophisticated design systemsare available only for specialized companies with large financial resources. The pay-per-useapproach will have tremendous impact on engineering design since the number of engineers andresearchers which have an access to sophisticated design tools will increase by a factor of at leastof 100. This rapid increase in the number of people involved in sophisticated design processeswill significantly accelerate technological development.The common problem being faced by many electronic engineers in industry is that their design
